Yes on the boots, but make sure you tuck in the laces. It's embarrassing when your laces get tangled on the foot peg and you can't put your foot down.

I would get some leather work gloves that aren't really "baggy" to wear for the class. Don't forget long sleeves and sturdy pants (no jeans with huge holes).

It's perfectly OK to minimize your $$ investment before the class. The course is a good way to determine if riding is really something you want to do.

Never out-ride your ability to react (even stop) within the distance you can see (at least on the street).
